Program Information

Build a career that works—anywhere.

Want a career that’s hands-on, future-proof, and in demand? Industrial Engineering Technology prepares you to step confidently into the workforce with the skills, experience, and credentials employers are actively looking for.

This nationally accredited program blends technical know-how with real-world problem-solving, so you don’t just graduate with a diploma—you graduate career-ready.

You’ll learn beyond the classroom. With two paid co-op work terms, you’ll gain valuable industry experience while earning an income. In your final year, you’ll complete a hands-on applied research capstone, working with industry partners to solve real challenges before you even cross the stage.

Accredited by Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC) and recognized through CEWIL, this program meets Canada’s highest standards for engineering technology education.

A credential that stands on its own – with options for what’s next! You’ll also have a direct pathway to a Bachelor of Technology degree through Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, giving you the flexibility to advance when you’re ready.

Learn by doing. Get paid while you learn. Graduate ready to lead.

What you’ll do as an Industrial Engineering Technologist
Industrial Engineering Technologists are problem-solvers, system-thinkers, and efficiency experts. As a graduate, you’ll help organizations improve performance, reduce costs, and operate smarter across manufacturing, service, and business environments.

You’ll gain the skills to:

• Analyze and design systems that boost productivity and eliminate waste.
• Design safer, smarter operations that meet quality standards while keeping costs under control.
• Plan, manage, and control projects using modern project management, control tools, and techniques.
• Tackle real-world challenges using proven engineering, problem-solving, and management strategies.
• Build quality into everything through effective quality assurance and quality control systems.
• Apply lean manufacturing methods to help organizations do more with less.
• Improve maintenance performance using preventive and predictive strategies that reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
• Enhance mechanical systems with hands-on engineering applications that improve reliability and performance.

If you like understanding how things work, improving systems, and seeing your ideas create real impact in real workplaces, Industrial Engineering Technology was designed with you in mind.
